Recap: The Bates Get Candid

During Tonight's episode, the family members are sitting down with Matt Hightower to answer questions about how it's like film Bringing Up Bates.

The parents of 19 children are going first. Gil and Kelly say that if they are watching the show, Gil will be in tears since it's tender to them now that they have five children married and the other children grow up fast. Gil and Kelly know that one day they will be sitting in an empty house. Gil adds that he doesn't know if the house will ever be empty since they haven't had a boy married off in three years.

Kelly reveals that if she has a gloomy day then she calls one of the kids to talk. Kelly says that it's a goal for the show since they are in this together during the good and the bad  times.

What is the couple's secret about having a close-knit family? They reveal that it's praying, playing and laughing together is their secret.

The next group (Zach and Whitney, Erin and Chad, Tori and Bobby) is on deck to answer the question. Matt asked what is it like to have small children who have been on reality TV for their entire lives?

Erin answers that Carson freezes up even through he is used to the camera being there three days a week. She adds that her son doesn't act like himself yet. Whitney reveals that her daughter doesn't know what to think about it and just stands behind the cameras.

The last ones to join the fun is Lawson, Carlin, Josie and Katie are the next ones to be question. Matt asked the group what it is like to live life with a camera in front of them.

Lawson reveals that it's been hard to have a camera in his face however for the youngest three little ones (Jeb, Judson and Callie) let loose on the camera.

Do the family watch all the shows? The older ones admit that they don't watch the show since they are too critical of themselves. Kelly approves the episodes and often gives them a heads up so they can watch the show.

Carlin is asked when she expects to get married and she says that she will be married within the next year.

Matt gets asked who is his favorite? He responds his favorite is all the family since he loves them all. The family and crew have become like family.

Five Paines and counting

Yesterday marked Erin's 27th birthday so in honor of that, we have a new photo of Chad and Erin with their little ones. It's hard to be believe that shortly after Mother's Day, the family will celebrate Carson's 3rd birthday.
How adorable is this photo? You might asked who took this photo and it's Taryn Yager.

Also be sure to watch Bringing Up Bates tonight. We will be sharing our recap later tonight.
